Lust is usually thought of as involving obsessive or excessive thoughts or desires of a sexual nature. Unfulfilled lusts sometimes lead to sexual or sociological compulsions and/or transgressions including (but obviously not limited to) sexual addiction, adultery, bestiality, and rape. Dante's criterion was simpler, an "excessive love of others," which therefore renders love and devotion to God as secondary. However, lust and love are two different things; while a genuine, selfless love can represent the highest degree of development and feeling of community with others in a human relationship, Lust can be described as the excessive desire for sexual release, but also the fulfillment of absolute love filled need. The other person can be therefore seen as a "means to an end" for the fulfillment of the subject's desires, and becomes thus objectified in the process. In Purgatory the penitent walks within flames to purge himself of lustful/sexual thoughts.

Zip your pants! You are most guilty of the sin of lust. You are mainly driven by your insatiable libido, constantly craving intimate physical contact. The penalty for your lascivious and lewd actions will be smothering by fire and brimstone. (Hot, hot, hot.) In order to evade this fate, use a little self control, one of the heavenly virtues. Lust, in Latin Luxuria, is represented by the cow and color blue.I really don't see how I ended up with that.
